In reply to Tiffany. Interesting idea, Tiffany. We'd recommend mentioning it to your vet just to be on the safe side, but it does seem like that may be helpful. Thanks for sharing!

I don’t know if this will be helpful to anyone- but if anyone has ever experienced trapped gas it’s known to be painful and through-out time I’ve come up w my own little tricks that help me and I use the same tricks on my chihuahua and it seems to help him when he is bloated with gas. You know those little hand held push button back massagers (they ultimately just mildly vibrate) you can find them at Walgreens and most like Walmart as well. Well the vibrating seems to help break up the gas and when massaging back muscles downward it helps move it around and ultimately to its exit. My dog is sketchy about literally everything (he doesn’t even like the car- he has unfounded trust issues I suppose) but when his tummy hurts he loves the vibration (it’s somewhat soothing as well.)

My baby diamond is mixed pit-Shar-pai – something like that. She’s 11 right now she has gas and she always is trying to lay right but changes just to be comfortable. I can hear her she would push the gas out but I gave her another GasX. The first one seems a little better so now I’m waiting on the next. I would move her legs up to her chest hopefully the gas comes out. I think she got it from eating raw chicken patty’s from Stella chewy. She was always thirsty and a lot of smelly gas so I stopped giving it to her it was her first time eating it. I’m not giving her anymore.

Hey, Anne.
It really depends on which vet or authority you consult. Some have stopped recommending elevated food dishes, but others continue to do so.
Thanks for reading!

Hi, raised bowls are no longer recommended to prevent bloat — could even make it worse. We use gasx and always wet food served in small portions throughout the day. Also got a special water bowl so he doesn’t gulp up water – that was causing a lot of gas. Also barking can make things worse! Thanks.
